An Update:


Bill graciously sent me another antenna with a t-junction. Overall, I have noticed vast improvements using the two antennae versus one.

The results are still dependent on location, and I will need to make another BNC patch cable of additional length to place the antennae to an astheticly pleasing location. But the null spots are greatly reduced. I think once I find a permenant location for the antennae with a good "wingspan", I will no longer have any null spots.

I'll keep you all posted.

I just installed a Terk fm Pro antenna on the last system we did and it will work from the street. The same system the terk is on has been a problem for some time untill now ,The customer is happy and so am I.
Whatch out for T2's that will do RF but not IR. We had three in a row.
The remote still rules and has a lot of potential but I am growing tired ( and broke)from all the trouble shooting.
Thanks to Mitch for all your help.

Hi, all I am still traveling from CES but finally got my hands on computer. The high gain antennas should be in, but are lost in the mail I expect to see them on Monday or Tuesday.

I am still working on a second antenna kit with RTI. I have offered to supply all the parts that RTI can't to make this a reality as soon as possible. I experience some improvement with my macro reliability with the second antenna also. The Terk option sounds like a dream come true, will need to check it out. I asked Mitch about 3 or more antennas and he thought there was no reason this should not work. I would think that at some point all the connector and line loss would end up doing more harm than good.
